Abstract

BackgroundThe impact of treatment delays on prostate cancer-specific outcomes remains ill-defined. This study investigates the effect of time to treatment on biochemical disease control after prostatectomy.MethodsThis retrospective study includes 1,807 patients who received a prostatectomy as a primary treatment at two large tertiary referral centers from 1987 to 2015. Multivariate cox model with restricted cubic spline was used to identify optimal time to receive treatment and estimate the risk of biochemical recurrence.ResultsMedian follow-up time of the study was 46 (interquartile range, 18-86) months. Time to treatment was subcategorized based on multivariate cubic spline cox model. In multivariate spline model, adjusted for all the pertinent pretreatment variables, inflection point in the risk of biochemical recurrence was observed around 3 months, which further increased after 6 months. Based on spline model, time to treatment was then divided into 0 to 3 months (61.5%), >3 to 6 months (31.1%), and 6 months (7.4%). In the adjusted cox model, initial delays up to 6 months did not adversely affect the outcome; however, time to treatment >6 months had significantly higher risk of biochemical recurrence (HR, 1.84; 95% confidence interval, 1.30-2.60; P < 0.01).ConclusionsThe initial delays up to 6 months in prostate cancer primary treatment may be sustainable without adversely affecting the outcome. However, significant delays beyond 6 months can unfavorably affect biochemical disease control.ImpactTime to treatment can aid clinicians in the decision-making of prostate cancer treatment recommendation and educate patients against unintentional treatment delays.

47. Psychotropic Medication Adherence among Community-Based Individuals with Developmental Disabilities and Mental Illness

Author

Tan, Xi, Marshall, Vincent D., and Balkrishnan, Rajesh

Abstract

Psychotropic medications are a common treatment for mental illness in people with developmental disabilities. Medication adherence is a critical determinant of the effectiveness of psychotropic drugs, but psychotropic medication adherence research specific to this population remains limited. This retrospective study analyzed Marketscan® Multi-State Medicaid Database 2003-2007 data. A total of 3,905 eligible community-based Medicaid enrollees aged 18-64 with dual diagnosis of developmental disability and mental illness were included and followed over an average of 510 days. Medication adherence was measured by Proportion of Days Covered (PDC), and logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with adherence. The mean PDC was 0.86, and the non-adherence rate was 25.7%. Factors associated with poor psychotropic medication adherence included minority race/ethnicity, female gender, enrollment in a Medicaid capitated plan, and having gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Better psychotropic medication adherence was related to reductions in emergency room visits, suggesting better utilization outcomes.
